There’s no continent named America either, so that is not confusing.
Those on the continent of North America are north Americans, those on the continent of South America are south Americans, only those from the USA are just American.
The Americas are two completely different continents, with two distinct continental plates, connected by an isthmus.

Thanks for anglosplaining. Now go look at a wikipedia page or two to see how there are different definitions for continents
Right, but any definition that has those two land masses as a single continent is objectively wrong.
Same with Eurasia being two, just eurocentric quackery.
And anybody getting worked up about Americans calling ourselves Americans are flatly on the wrong side of this.
